West Auckland Airport has applied for airport authority status, as it plans to develop the airport, with the aim of attracting a commercial passenger-carrying airline. Part of this plan could include the development of a new, longer runway. It views airport authority status as an important step for future growth, allowing it greater ability to attract new investment for planned developments. We are inviting submissions on the proposal from West Auckland Airport, and you are also welcome to attend a public meeting on this application.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
